See below... South America and China are the real ones left for us, oh and Greenland and Antarctica, will be fun to see how to get the Motorhome there ;)
I have taken time to revisit our old holiday website and hopefully improved the videos and photo slideshows as well as make the website much more "mobile" friendly. It now doesn't look too bad on your phone.
We loved this holiday and it is reawakening the travel bug in us.

Retrospective
We took our hired Canadian motorhome across the border at Niagara Falls, Lewiston bridge into Upstate New York along the edge of lake ontario and then via Rochester , Syracuse , Pulaski and back into Canada at Alexandria bay.
For Maine we visited Bar Harbor, what a lovely place - lobster roll and all ;) and Lubec (eastern most US town) and Campobello island as a detour between Fredricton & St John , New Brunswick.
You can see our grand tour of Canada by clicking here

It is worth knowing that in most if not all scandinavian campsites it is neccessary to have a Camping Card Europe card.
You can get away with ACSI, UK Caravan Club & UK Camping & Caravan club if you are lucky in one or 2 sites but that won't last for long and give you unneccesary hassle on what should be a relaxing holiday.
Despite ACSI's notes that you MAY need one, you definately WILL need one. Remember ACSI is a Dutch company and their card is not used readable on most scandi campsite computers to automatically get your details off.
No need to buy one upfront you can get one at the 1st scandi site you stay at costing about £14 (2016).
What you will need for cheaper camping in the scandinavian countries is
DENMARK - CC Europe card, ACSI Discount card, Pay on leaving (i.e they keep your cards as security)
SWEDEN - CC Europe card, ACSI Discount card, Pay up front
FINLAND - CC Europe card, ACSI Discount card, Pay up front
NORWAY - CC Europe card, ACSI Discount card, Pay up front
Note in Germany , France and Holland the ACSI members card and discount card are fine and there is a mixture of paying up front and on departure.
Do hope this hint and tip helps others.

Hint & Tip
Many of the sites in Denmark, Finland, Sweden & Norway use the European style 2 pin plug as indeed does the ferry from Sweden to Finland where they will give you electric hook up whilst crossing to keep your fridge going. What a shame no one else offers this service!
The newer sites use the standard UK bayonet fitting.
Have fun, hope the tip helps
